Trump claimed he knows Winfrey “very well.”

“It was very nice,” he said of his appearance on Winfrey’s long-running eponymous talk show. “No, I like Oprah. I don’t think she’s going to run. I don’t think she’s going to run. I know her very well.”

If in some strange world Oprah was revealed to have committed some deplorable crime Trump would be saying "Oprah who?!"

"I don’t think she’s going to run. I don’t think she’s going to run. I know her very well.”

What the fuck is it with the repeated phrases? And hey didn’t this meeting cut into his watching TV time.

Lots of fun. But not for you, Donnie-boy.

Never Winfrey.

She would be “fun” as President as Trump is “fun” as President.

Celebrity does not equal competence.

Wealth does not equal ability.

Running a business is not the same as running a government.

Being a talk show host is not the same as being President.

Not to mention that Oprah has used her show to promote numerous kooks, charlatans, and snake oil salesmen. I guess it is not surprising that she had Trump on her show.

This guy. You don’t know anyone “very well,” Gollum. You don’t have friends or a social circle. There’s nobody in your universe but you, and you don’t even exist, that image you project is just a figment of your imagination you literally call “Trump,” because it isn’t really you, there is no real you, and just FYI normal humans don’t talk about themselves that way.

Jesus, I really despise the far left. You are no better than the right. So many of you sound exactly like the right did in '08 with the nasty dismissive tone they took toward Obama. It’s the same words, the same assumption of vacuousness, all of it.

It would be more fun if you and your family got indicted and convicted and had to pay restitution to the American people.

Wow! I did not know that Obama was a billionaire talk show host and actor with no policy experience and no government experience when he ran for President in 2008.

I must be pretty vacuous.

Thanks for letting me know.

Now, can you tell me what Oprah’s policy positions are?

I did not think so.

Does… does Donald Trump know that there can only be one President at a time? Does he think Oprah could be President too, and then they could gallivant about Presidenting together?

Sometimes I wonder.

She’s testified before Congress in favor of a national background check for childcare workers. She’s spoken openly about the need for background checks, about preserving a woman’s right to choose, and that healthcare should be a right for all Americans. Just because you didn’t hear about it, doesn’t mean it wasn’t shouted from the rooftops.

That you didn’t think is never a surprise.

“Lots of fun” because he does not understand he is POTUS or what POTUS is, does, or behaves. He’s still thinking he’s in television show.

“It was very nice,” [Trump] said of his appearance on Winfrey’s long-running eponymous talk show. “No, I like Oprah. I don’t think she’s going to run. I don’t think she’s going to run. I know her very well.”

Repetition and a non sequitur. To quote Dr. McCoy in Star Trek IV: The One with the Whales, “He’s not exactly working on all thrusters.”

I think you do yourself a disservice if you think any push-back on the Oprah notion necessarily comes from the far left.

(Not that we need to be thinking about this for another 18 months, if indeed she decides to run at all)

19

Ooooh, those are certainly profound positions. And she even testified before Congress! She probably read her lines really really well, too.

I guess that qualifies her then.

Anyway, I guess you agree with Trump that it would be “lots of fun” if she ran.

I don’t. It would be a disaster for the Democrats and the country.

You said you didn’t think I could tell you any policy positions. I then shared some, and now that’s not enough. Sure, just put those goal posts anywhere.
